I have just commited a fix to manual. However, I do not have enough
karma to put manual on flood page, so we need a config file to make
people aware of new feature.

Philippe,
Would you have something against a little simplification? Your example
payload has many parts, where I think two parts would be sufficient. I
would like to replace your payload with something like this:
-----------------------------18042893838469308861681692777
Content-Disposition: form-data;
foo=bar&bar=foo
-----------------------------18042893838469308861681692777
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myFile"; filename="MyFile.dat"
Content-Type: application/octet-stram
<!-- few bytes encoded as XML entities (&#xxx;) -->
-----------------------------18042893838469308861681692777
...as a typical example (few form data fields, and file contents). Also
I would like to have payload with bare new lines (that is -- without
entities &#10; and &#13;). This would make such example more readable
for people not using fancy editors to read XML (me ;).
